1. Newton ($NEWT )
🚀 Positioning: AI-driven decentralized automation protocol, supports natural language execution of DeFi transactions (such as ETH dollar-cost averaging), relying on Polygon AggLayer for ultra-low Gas cross-chain aggregation at $0.0008 per transaction.
🔥 Core Highlights
Strong Endorsement: Secured $90 million in funding from PayPal Ventures, Tiger Global, etc., and surged 320% in a single day after launching Binance perpetual contracts.
Airdrop Mechanism: 10% of tokens (100 million) for airdrop, on-chain tasks (500 points/transaction) + community games to earn points, 15 points redeemable for 125 NEWT, attracting 83,000 wallets in the first week.
Technical Advantages: LLM + ZKP achieves a 92% strategy accuracy rate, developers receive 70% commission (over 12,000 weekly calls), protocol revenue is used for token burning and deflation.
⚠️ Risk Warning
Off-chain TEE environment poses risks of malicious code injection.
Need to compete against mature protocols like Gelato/Keep3r.
Team tokens are locked for 12 months and released linearly, long-term selling pressure is expected.
2. Union
🌉 Positioning: ZK cross-chain interoperability layer, breaking EVM limitations, supports multi-chain verification for Solidity/Cosmos/Solana/BitVM, achieving sub-second transaction confirmations.
🚀 Core Progress
Testnet transaction volume exceeds 58 million transactions, Dashboard users over 250,000.
Launch the largest industry airdrop in 2025 (Kaito community priority).
BTCFi Ecosystem: Collaborating with Babylon to introduce nine-digit TVL Ethereum LST, integrating over 40 leading projects including Polygon/Celestia/Sui.
⚠️ Risk Warning
Multi-chain ZK verification faces technical implementation bottlenecks.
Need to accelerate ecosystem landing under LayerZero's leadership.
